Formula and Step-by-Step

teaspoons × 2.29g/tsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces
  1. Start with 0.5 teaspoons of paprika
  2. 1 teaspoon of paprika = 2.29g
  3. 0.5 × 2.29 = 1.15g
  4. Convert grams to ounces: 1.15 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.04 oz

The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

For the most accurate results, weigh paprika on a kitchen scale. At small quantities, even slight over-measuring can overpower a dish.
